Goods receipt for outbound delivery in MIGO – incorrect items

Issue:

When posting goods receipt with a reference to outbound deliveries in MIGO all outbound deliveries with a reference to the stock transfer order are displayed as separate line items in MIGO.

Reproducing the Issue
  1. Create a stock transfer order with confirmation control key
  2. Create 2 outbound deliveries with reference to the same STO
  3. Post goods issue for the deliveries in VL02N
  4. Create corresponding inbound deliveries
  5. Post the goods receipt with a reference to one of the outbound deliveries in MIGO
In MIGO 2 lines will be displayed, referring to both outbound delivery values.

Reason:
The system reads the table EKES for the open GR quantity of the STO and considers all entries where GR has not been booked yet, no only the entries related to the specific OBD.

Solution:
Post the GR with VL32N or with MIGO but with reference to the IBD.
If IBD is created the GR should always refer to the IBD.
As an alternative solution we should consider refraining the usage of inbound deliveries in this scenario, so that GR can be posted with a reference to the OBD.

Unable to edit "Qty in UnE' field in MIGO

Issue:

During a Goods Receipt (GR) posting in MIGO a user is unable to edit the 'Qty in UnE' (GOITEM-ERFMG) in the MIGO items table.
The field is grayed out and uneditable, but in the detail data section the field is not grayed out and is editable.

Reproducing the Issue
  1. Go to transaction MIGO.
  2. Choose GR / Purchase Order (PO).
  3. Enter PO number and press Enter.


Reason:
This is standard system design. If the Detail Data tab in MIGO is open, the information in the table above is uneditable.

Solution
If users prefer to edit the details in the Items table, then the Detail Data section must be suppressed in MIGO. Once suppressed the fields will become editable.

GR quantity displayed incorrectly in MIGO

 Issue

When we display a material document (goods receipt for purchase order) in MIGO and in the ’Quantity’ tab the GR Quantity is higher than the value in ’Qty in Unit of Entry’.

Reproducing the Issue
  1. Display a material document in MIGO (goods receipt for purchase order).
  2. Go to tab ’Quantity’.
  3. Compare the values in the fields ’Qty in Unit of Entry’ and ’GR Quantity’.
  4. The value in field ’GR quantity’ is higher.

Cause
More material documents have a reference to the displayed material document and they are also considered when GR quantity is displayed. The reason is that the GR-Based IV (EKPO-WEBRE) is set for the corresponding PO item.
To check that we can go to SE16 and display the material documents that have the same reference number. Fill the following fields:
  • EBELN and EBELP (corresponding purchasing document and document item).
  • LFBNR (you can copy this from the material document in MIGO, go to ’Purchase order’ tab and note the number in field ’Reference Document’).
we can check the same in the purchase order history, if you select the view GR/IR Assignment. All material documents that belong to the same reference number are displayed in one block.

Solution
The sum of the GR quantities booked with material documents with the same reference document is always displayed in the ’GR quantity’ field in MIGO.

No FI Document created during Goods Receipt against PO

Issue

  • After Goods Receipt against a Purchase Order, there is no FI Document generated.
  • Error "RW011 No subsequent document found in Accounting" while trying to display Accounting Doc from Material Document.
  • Goods Receipt with zero value.

Solution
  1. 1. Please check if the "GR non-valuated" indicator is checked within the Delivery tab of the Purchase Order.
  2. 2. If  the GR is not valuated. Hence, there will be no Accounting Document created during the Goods Receipt posting.
